UFO Journal Article: “Possible landing at Haukeli”

Duration: Four consecutive observations, lasting from 1 hour to 2 1/2 hrs each

Place: Øydeskyvatn, near Haukeli, Southern Norway

Witnesses: Signe Mjåland (main witness) together with 6 other witnessesNature of sighting:Luminous phenomenon at close range – suspected landing traces found

Conclusion

It seems that an extraordinary phenomenon has been observed for a prolonged period by several, apparantly reliable witnesses.

At one instance, the phenomenon was seen close (to) or at the ground, probably leaving markings in the snow. At any rate, being discovered by the witnesses the day after, it would be natural to connect these markings with the phenomenon’s descent.

Considering the laboratory tests, they seem somewhat inconclusive at the moment. The microbiological tests showed a definite difference between test and reference samples; however, the elemental analysis was indiscriminating.

As usual with cases like these, it is difficult to draw any definite conclusion. Assuming that the witnesses haven’t misperceived known phenomena (i.e. the moon, which may be the main culprit), we might safely state that something extraordinary has been observed, which has probably left physical traces on the ground – a classical CE II-case.”

A Norwegian UFO documentary film called “UFO også i Norge?” (“UFO also in Norway?”) (ufo-ogsa-i-norge) reports (starts at 21:12 minutes into the documentary) on the Haukeli UFO sightings. The UFO documentary film is presented at the website, NETI.ws, Norway.

A drawing and a photo of the alleged UFO landing traces (found at the shoreline of Øydeskyvatn (a mountain lake)) are shown respectively at 22:00 minutes and 22:31 minutes into the documentary.

The three spiral shaped circles had a diameter of about 50 centimetres, according to Signe Mjåland (a high school advisor). The distance between the circles was 3 metres(measured from the outside of the circles).

“A probable fourth print was covered by water …,” the UFO-Norway News article says.The UFO resembled the moon, according to the witnesses. Signe Mjåland said (in the documentary) that the object looked like a large halogen lamp and glowed red on the bottom. A drawing of the UFO is shown at 21:47 minutes into the documentary.

And one time when one of the witnesses shone a flashlight at the UFO –it shut off the light, according to Signe Mjåland.Øydeskyvatn (located 21 kilometres (13 miles) south west of Haukeligrend (or Haukeli)) can be found at these coordinates (Google Earth): 59°37’53.99″N7°13’56.35″E.
